A new thread where all the Brady accolades, records, and other mind-blowing TRUTHS can be posted.


http://www.businessinsider.com/tom-brady-rare-hall-of-famer-drafted-sixth-round-2017-2

With the New England Patriots' win in Super Bowl 51, Tom Brady cemented his legacy as the greatest quarterback ever, a status made even more improbable if we consider where his career started.

By this point, it is no secret that Brady was drafted in the sixth round of the 2000 NFL Draft, with 198 players going before him. Of all the players voted into the Pro Football Hall of Fame, just two were selected in the sixth round, according to data from the Hall of Fame, with Terrell Davis, in this year's class, becoming just the second ever.

There are 49 players in the Hall of Fame who were not selected in the first six rounds of the Draft. However, if we look at just the players enshrined since the AFL-NFL merger in 1970, there are just six who were selected after the sixth round or who were not drafted at all. Improbable indeed.

There Goes Tom Brady, the Best Who Ever Lived

(Ed. Note: Tom Brady Hating runs deep through American football culture and explains much of the joyful glee surrounding his DeflateGate suspension, being appealed June 23. And Brady's historic domination of the NFL explains the source of the animosity, a mind-blowing compendium of unchallenged statistical superiority we outlined below after New England's win over Seattle in Super Bowl XLIX.)



Tom Brady is now the greatest quarterback in NFL history. Prepare your fragile little eggshell mind for a tsunami of Cold, Hard Football Facts that will overwhelm the opposition and prove the obvious.

Water is wet. Snow is cold. Brady is the greatest.

If you're an ESPN analyst like Tim Hasselbeck, clinging to a palm tree of opinion and trying to resist the overwhelming ocean of facts, you must at least admit that the New England Patriots quarterback is, indisputably, the most accomplished quarterback in history.

The debate is no longer Tom Brady vs. Peyton Manning, which should have been settled long ago. It's now Brady vs. Any Legendary QB.

Boston hometown boy Hasselbeck is the only person left in the world who would take Manning's resume over Brady's, as he stated throughout the season and again this week on sports radio WEEI in Boston.

Back here where we're not tripping on bad acid, the Cold, Hard Football Fact of the matter is that Brady now holds just about every single record in both postseason and Super Bowl history, whether we're talking individual stats or team accomplishments.

He's no slouch in the regular season, either. After 13 years as a starting quarterback, Brady is the winningest quarterback of all time and ranks in the Top 5 of every single major individual stat. He'll likely end his career in the top 3 in every major measure of individual accomplishment, maybe even higher depending on how long he plays. He already holds all the records in the playoffs and in the Super Bowl, and nobody alive is close to catching him.

So no matter how you cut it, stats or team accomplishments, Brady usually ends up on top by one of those meaures, and usually by both.

Perhaps most importantly, Brady consistently comes up huge in the clutch and wins games that appear lost, as he did twice in the 2014 postseason, against both Seattle in the Super Bowl and Baltimore in the divisional round.

The Patriots twice trailed the Ravens by 14 points, but scored 21 second-half points to win 35-31. New England won despite just 14 yards rushing, the fewest ever in a postseason victory. New England also won despite the fact Brady passed the ball 50 times -- usually the sign of defeat. He passed the ball 50 times again in the Super Bowl XLIX win over the Seattle Seahawks, and again with virtually no running game (57 total rush yards).

In one of the most incredible stats in all of sports history, Brady's Patriots are now 4-1 in the playoffs when he passes the ball 50+ times. Every other QB in history has combined to go 3-27 in that situation. Brady can carry a team in the clutch unlike any other QB in history. He's lapped the competition in carrying a team in the clutch.

Super Bowl XLIX was one of his finest hours: the Patriots became the first team in history to overcome a double-digit deficit in the second half of a Super Bowl. Every other team trailing by 10+ in the second half of a Super Bowl had combined to go 0-29 before Sunday.

Brady and the Patriots produced two fourth-quarter touchdown drives. And they did it against the best defense in football, a team that had surrendered just 15.9 points per game all year long – let alone 14 points in crunch time of the biggest game of the year.

More amazing Cold, Hard Football Facts: The Brady Patriots have produced 52 points in six Super Bowl fourth quarters. That's the equivalent of 34.7 PPG – typically against the toughest defenses of the year, and in the biggest moments of the season.

The Patriots have scored an incredible 28 points in the final 3 minutes of those six Super Bowls, including another touchdown against the mighty Seattle defense on Sunday.

We listed every single Brady individual and team record below, in the postseason, in the Super Bowl itself, and then listed where he stacks up in the regular season.

It's a tsunami of stats that offer and obvious conclusion: There goes Tom Brady, the best who ever lived.

https://www.profootballfocus.com/pro-ranking-all-32-nfl-quarterbacks-this-season/


As we near the end of the 2016 NFL season, we’ve seen a fairly solid display of quarterback performance across the board. By using a combination of historical data and each quarterback’s current status entering Week 16, I’ve come up with my list of the top 32 starting quarterbacks in the league.

This ranking does not directly reflect PFF’s current 2016 season grades, as I’m using my own context to place each quarterback (taking PFF grades and data into account, of course). In addition, we’re going with the starters who have enough of a sample size to place on this list.

With all those factors in mind, here’s a look at the top 32 quarterbacks in the NFL entering Week 16.

1. Tom Brady, New England Patriots
2016 overall grade: 96.4

On a throw-for-throw basis this season, Brady has had no peer. He’s leading the league in percentage of big-time throws, while also owning the lowest percentage of turnover-worthy plays per dropback. Keeping that ratio in line is always a recipe for success, leading to a truly remarkable season for the 39-year-old. Two parts of Brady’s Hall-of-Fame game have improved this season: the deep ball (throws traveling 20-plus yards in the air) and his work on plays that last at least 2.6 seconds. His passer rating of 121.5 on the deep ball ranks third in the league, while he ranks second on those longer-developing dropbacks, a part of his game that used to be a weakness. Brady has managed to improve at this later stage in his career, and he’s the top quarterback in the league by a fair margin this season.
 
Pretty good for a system QB. :coffee:

Nota bene: This was compiled and published immediately after SB XLIX. It needs to be updated to include the avalanche of stats, and records authored by TFB up though SB LI.

And those are the women we know about. Personally, I thought his choices of brunette women were the best but honestly hard to argue with any of them other than Tara Reid. I forgot about that one. That was Tom's slumming years.

It actually was originally written just before TFB's 1st game in 2016 after his suspension ended.

But yeah, it needs updating.
 
Tom Brady has defeated the league MVP six times in his playoff career, including twice in the Super Bowl.

Joe Montana defeated one (1988).

I have been bombarded with Giant fans lately telling me that "Eli beat Brady twice so if Brady is the GOAT what does that make Eli?" Crap like that.

I respond that the Giant D had more to do with those wins than Eli. Common answer is that the QB gets the win and the loss.

Need to store this little tidbit away. Thanks chevss
 
Here are some interesting numbers.

The 2004 NFL draft featured these three QBs: Eli Manning (#1), Phillip Rivers (#4) and Ben Roethlisberger (#11).

They have all made the playoffs multiple times and have had some success.

Combined, they have 4 Super Bowl Championships. Brady has 5.

Combined, they have completed 791 passes in the playoffs. Brady has 831.

Combined, they have passed for 54 TDs in the playoffs. Brady has 63.

here's a response you may want to try-

Doug Williams beat Mr. Ed in a Super Bowl. Mr. Ed was a first ballot HOFer. What does that make Doug Williams?

Jeff Hostetler beat Jim Kelly in a Super Bowl. Jim Kelly was a first ballot HOFer. What does that make Jeff Hostetler?

Mark Rypien beat Jim Kelly in a Super Bowl. What does that make Mark Rypien?

Phil Simms beat Mr. Ed in a Super Bowl. What does that make Phil Simms?

Totally wrong but essentially right. Great fun. :wink:

I'll safe you all the trouble of clicking the above link, as it isn't worth your time. This is how it ends:


But after [Brady's] fifth title, one in which he played (magnificently) from behind, it caused me to reevaluate the context of a stats-centric debate. I’ve come around, Patrick Chung and Chris Long.

Interesting statistical analysis on why Tom Brady's team being -too- good depresses his stats: https://www.washingtonpost.com/news...al-confessions-of-an-alleged-tom-brady-hater/
Click to expand...

His stats are not very depressed. I mean he has played a shorter time than Peyton, so he is going to have less stats, if you do a average year comparison, they are pretty even. The fact that this writer thought Peyton was the goat because he had "more" stats pretty much renders this story brain numb.
